Leanne Graeff - textile design

The tea towel designs shown were created using a print block. Each print block illustration was hand carved, inked and pressed to create the print on each towel. A few were transitioned to digital printing on fabric through Spoonflower, where I was invited to be one of the initial Beta phase members.

MoMA carried four exclusive tea towel designs, based on teacups and tea pots in their collection.

My Etsy site is "on vacation", but you can still see the full range of towels, totes, t-shirts, fine art prints and textiles in the "reviews" section.

Designed and produced 2 collections of tea towels for MoMA. These were included in MoMA shops, on-line store and catalog - as well as their shop in Japan.

MoMA

As Product Development Manager at MoMA, I was fortunate to have worked with numerous designers and artists. For these products I lead the development team, creating product specifications, communication with manufacturers as well as acting as the liaison with the retail and wholesale teams.

For other projects, I also acted as the design lead. Each of the items photographed here has my specific role outlined in the notes.
